The Whispering Verses Chapter 17: Professional classification of colleges and universities in the steam era

After agreeing on a meeting time, Dr. Schneider gave Shade a document bag containing information about the college. He left the room in a hurry, looking like he really had something to do.

After the doctor left, Shade did not open the document bag, but leaned on the sofa and looked at the ceiling. Just like what he said, he couldn't make up his mind immediately. He summarized what happened today in his mind and recalled every detail in his memory:

"The worst case scenario is that everything is a scam and the doctor is actually a cultist who wants to drag me into sacrifice. But this is unlikely..."

He thought in his mind and patted his head:

"What do you think?"

【You can believe it. 】

"But can I trust you? Like, can you tell me who you really are?"

【I am you. 】

"You are definitely not the other me in the Ring Warlock's heart, I'm sure of this."

Xia De looked at the ceiling pattern composed of color blocks and geometric patterns with a melancholy expression, and then looked at the rather nice crystal chandelier. He speculated in his mind about Mr. Bill Schneider's income, and then realized what a huge sum of gold pounds it would be.

“No matter what, I still have too little information, or there are no information channels at all, so I can only listen to other people’s opinions.”

In Shade's own mind, doctors can be trusted. None of the information so far this morning is contradictory or illogical.

And what the doctor said makes sense. It is not an easy matter to meet forces that are willing to guide ordinary people to contact the extraordinary and mysterious. Shade has already had a preliminary understanding of this era, where the extraordinary and mysterious are not apparent, and the flames of human civilization allow the steam industry to flourish. Mystery and transcendence are only a small part of the shadow of civilization.

Looking at it from this perspective, Shade would like to thank the doctor for revealing the valuable knowledge without asking for any money.

Shad knew that he was attracted to St. Byrons Comprehensive College, and he would not deny it. The three major thaumaturgy academies and the five righteous churches are the only formal ways to train magicians, and he will only consider these methods.

Both the academy and the church have their pros and cons, but now it was the academy that contacted him first, and Shade was also doubting his identity as a time traveler. Compared with the more loosely managed ring magicians, the church is more likely to be able to see through his identity, especially since the doctor has clearly said that God really exists.

We don’t know the power of the gods yet, but we don’t rule out that the other party is “omniscient”.

"St. Byrons Comprehensive College can be accepted, but we still have to see the information that the so-called [relic] can provide first."

He made up his mind, knowing that such a choice might not be the best, but Shade would not regret it, it was his own decision.

"Then look at this."

I was thinking about opening the document bag. But the door was suddenly opened at this time. Because it was opened without knocking, Shade thought it was the doctor who came back early. But the person who opened the door was a young woman, and she was also surprised that it was Shade sitting here.

"Sorry, I thought Dr. Schneider..."

She looks to be about 20 years old. She is the most beautiful girl Shade has seen since he came to this world. She has long blond hair and green eyes. She is truly "blonde". He seems to have a very quiet temperament, like a student or teacher. She was wearing a very ordinary dark blue dress, and her only accessory was a butterfly-shaped hair ornament on her hair.

"Sorry."

The blond lady said, surprised and immediately apologized. She wanted to close the door again, but suddenly stopped and looked at Shade with her green eyes doubtfully, which made Shade feel a little embarrassed.

"This light is...are you a gifted person who is awakening?"

Now Shade understood the reason why the doctor noticed him at a glance yesterday at the door of the newspaper office. He thought that the vision of the ring warlock was different from that of ordinary people.

"Really a gifted person?"

Although she was surprised, the blond lady still remained calm enough. She looked at Shade with her beautiful eyes and curved her mouth:

"Bill actually found a gifted person? When did he get so lucky? Did he use a strange [relic] to advance his luck?"

"I..."

Xia De wanted to say something, but the other party shook his head:

"Sorry, in our group, only fifth-year doctors are eligible to enroll, so I can't reveal any information to you before you officially enroll. This is part of the contract with the college, and we must abide by the regulations. ”

Take a step back and hold the door handle with a smile on his face:

"But the conditions at St. Byrons Comprehensive College are really good. You are very lucky to meet a doctor within 72 hours. You can think about it carefully. Oh, and if you really join St. Byrons Lens, remember, don’t major in chemistry.”

After saying that, he nodded gently to say goodbye and closed the door from the outside.

"Did one of the four people in Dr. Bill Schneider's correspondence group of cyclists...did he really just happen to bump into me, or was he acting on me?"

Sometimes Shade also thinks that he is suspicious, but when he comes to a completely unfamiliar world, he thinks that he can live better this way.

"However, a school that teaches mysticism actually has a chemistry major?"

Twisted the winding of the document bag and saw the more detailed college information. At the top is the promotional page that the doctor took out this morning, and behind it is the actual admissions document of the college.

Xia De looked through the thick pile of information and then understood. There are 10 professional colleges under St. Byrons Comprehensive College. Different colleges have different learning styles and professional knowledge——

School of Chemistry, specializing in the production of herbal medicine and potions;

Mechanical College, good at psychic abilities and cultivating alchemical abilities;

Astronomy College, a training ground for diviners and stargazers;

School of Ancient Literature, School of Spiritual Rune Interpretation and Analysis and Ancient Language Inheritance;

The School of Mathematics, the school of ritual, incantation, and thaumaturgy;

The School of Folklore studies the history before the Sixth Age, collects ancient literature and modern literature, and is proficient in the elements of [enlightenment];

The School of History trains investigators, time-travelers, and proficient in [blasphemy] elements;

School of Library Management, a training school for secret keepers and caretakers. Containing [Relics] is the main responsibility of the school. It is also the strongest major of St. Byrons Comprehensive College. It is proficient in the elements of [Whispers];

The seminary teaches theology, studies the history of the old gods, and is proficient in the elements of [miracles]. Cooperation with the Orthodox Church is usually the responsibility of the seminary;

The School of Political Science and Economics is not open to correspondence courses, so there is no information.

The reason why the various professional colleges under St. Byrons are called with common subject names, instead of simply "Conservation College" and "Thumbology College", is to allow the correspondence-taught ring magicians to be able to study in ordinary disciplines. In the human world, talk about your study life in a reasonable way to reduce the possibility of the academy being exposed to ordinary people.

It was only after passing these materials that Xia De understood that the ring warlock system explained by the doctor actually missed some important content.

For example, once the Ring Warlock is fully awakened, he will generate spiritual runes belonging to the soul based on the characteristics of the soul, also known as "core runes".

The core runes are engraved in the central hollow of the wheel of destiny, not on the ring of destiny. This is related to the advancement of the ring warlock. The content of the core runes is also the basis for the college’s recommendation to join the professional college.

For example, Doctor Schneider, Shade guessed that his core runes are most likely related to "mind", so the doctor should belong to the Mechanical College.

"So, I can't decide what I will learn before I become a ring wizard. But, can I travel through time?"

He shook his head. Because of these admissions documents, he once again felt the culture and system of this steam age.

He looked through it carefully and carefully wrote down the important information. Then he put the documents he had read back into the bag and stood up to put them on the desk in the room.

This reception room only entertains important guests. There are a lot of papers scattered on the desk. The doctor probably didn't have time to clean it up, and he is not afraid of Shade peeking, because most of them are about the business of the clinic, and a few are used. is not the lingua franca of the Northern Kingdoms at all.

Unfortunately, for some reason, Shade was able to understand those strange words. He did have the special ability to understand words.
